Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 This Brian Eno's opinion is valid. John Williams has neither the credentials nor the skills to be writing scores for motion pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'm sure there are plenty of artists I am obsessed with that hate other artists I'm obsessed with, not really a big deal. Eno hasn't been involved with much of anything I've cared about post-early-80s but I love practically everything he worked on from Roxy Music to Talking Heads and the Berlin Trilogy. My personal favorite Eno solo album is "Before and After Science." Now we just need to get Williams' opinion on "Another Green World" or "Music for Airports"!

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Eno hating John Williams is not a reason to dismiss one of the most interesting figures in pop music history! Setting aside his (very worthwhile) ambient music recordings, his 4 solo pop albums of the 1970s are some of the coolest records of that decade. Another Green World and Before and After Science especially are essential albums IMO. The albums he produced with David Bowie and Talking Heads are brilliant, towering achievements by any measure. I mean, come on. This is just amazing: Dixon Hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Well, like so many people before me, my teenage David Bowie obsession led me on the path of discovering Eno and then all the amazing experimental German artists that inspired them. That experimental, electronic music of the '70s holds a special place in my heart. Sharkissimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
